The opening ceremony of Guangdong's 2021 nautical model championship was held by the Guangdong Sports Bureau in Maoming on Jan 2.

Since 2018, Maoming has won 11 golds, six silvers and seven bronzes, and trained many world champions, including Tan Lifeng. 2021 is the fourth year Maoming has hosted the competition, and it strictly complies with epidemic prevention and control requirements.

Yang Jiming, a student at Zhanjiang No 1 Middle School, said, "I loved sailing models when I was young. I participated in the championship and made a lot of friends. I share with them the experience of making and transforming the nautical model, which allows me to gain more experience and inspiration."

"I think it's a great achievement to assemble a navigation model with my own hands," said Liang Jiaxian, a student at Guangzhou Nanhai Middle School. Although he was in the final stage of the entrance exam for high school, he still insisted on joining the championship.

Maoming held the championship to prepare for its role as host of the 17th Guangdong Provincial Games in 2026.
